it was filmed at 54°37'09.9"N 6°00'13.8"W. if you put that into google maps it should take you there. you can drive most of the way but you have to walk a small bit

thanks very much. greetings from Kerry

when?

What rubbish. The GNRI Vs did an average of 62.9mph on the Dublin trains, which for an 4-4-0 in 1932, that's pretty damn slick. The GSR's 800 class punched the clock at 96mph on the Cork to Dublin run. To claim they didn't have expresses in those days, or to suggest Irish locomotives can't keep up, is completely ridiculous and borders slander.

@andreA-Ke2id I have to disagree with you there. the GSR 800 class on many occasions where recorded above 100 mph. the class v of 1932 was a great majestic locomotive well able to pull trains of great size at very much so express speeds. the s class similar to that seen in this video where also super fast locomotives. 131 cannot really show off her speed properly on the Maynooth run but i ashure you that when she is on a line with a bit more space she can really punch it very fast.

indeed you are right. pretty Shure the GNRI VS locos where the fastest 4-4-0s ever built

it sure has. the new station is far more spacious

hurray indeed. the improvement in transport is monumental

indeed it is very good they where saved from scrap. one of them was even a new build being built in 2021 i think

@@irishrailtrains thanks very much

absolutely right. some sort of a tourist line would provide a lifeline to comunities around ireland.

i agree. peat harvisting defnetly did need to stop however what BNM has done to its workers is unexeptable. preserving the railways would create a lot of jobs for the local comunity. also i belive it is important to remember the history of peat harvisting as though it was very bad for our one and only planet it for many generations was a lifeline to local comunities.

thanks very much. i hope you enjoyed the day

@@lincolnarmasols283 yes. I remember that. I was well stood back but not everyone was

thanks very much

indeed it would. hopefully we get the same amount next year

Yes. Those locomotives where mostly old Sulzer locomotives which upon the introduction of the 071 class had been withdrawn. Rather than scrap the locomotives the decision was made to line them up to try and create a sound barrier to reduce the noise of passing trains from the houses next to the line. Some time in the 90s most of the locomotives were scrapped however Sulzer B103 from that line was preserved and is now at the Irish traction groups headquarters at Carrick-on-Suir awaiting major restoration. more information about that loco can be found hear: www.irishtractiongroup.com/itglocos/103 Another Sulzer locomotive B113 is now preserved at the ulster folk transport museum in Belfast. some more photos of these locomotives in the line at inchacore can be found in this album: www.steverabone.com/RailwayPhotographs/ireland_1984.htm hear is some more info regarding B113: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CI%C3%89_113_Class

@@fivefootthreetothreefoot Fascinating! I just spent at least 90 minutes looking at the info you sent, reminiscing, I'm so sentimental. Interesting to find out after 40 years what TL and S actually meant. Wonder what SA meant?! Zooming past Inchicore was such a thrill for me. You seem well informed - I was also wondering when CIE decided to scrap the A's, 141's, 121's - surely a lot of people would've wanted souvenirs, the Metro Vick or GM labels, a certain cab number, a whistle, a buffer beam perhaps, you know? I wonder where it all went?

indeed it was an amazing sight

thanks very much

indeed they are great. I imagine life would be very dull without them

@@narrowgaugeexplorer thanks. I wouldn't have known where any peat trains were without you

Thanks very much. I don't know where that clip could be framiler from.

@@fivefootthreetothreefoot if that was during the easter train eariler this year then I would have been on that 29000

​@@TransportVideosIreIandthat was indeed the Easter train. It's a small world

@@fivefootthreetothreefoot haha I thought I reconised the layout since I came off that Enterprise and then got that 29000 to balbriggan

@@geraldwalsh6489 the coaches were built in Sheffield by caravans and fitted out in inchacore works. Today the coaches are stored at inchacore when not in use

I think so

unfortunately the last peat rake was last Thursday out of Belair bog. luckily there are still ash trains on the system out of edenderry i think evry day in the morning. there is also talk about transporting stone on some of the lines for building greenways. there is also still the ocaisional fuel train on parts of the system. there is also suposed to be lots of track lifing trains however alot of theese dont seem to be operating at the moment/ there is a very small chance that there might be some more peat on the edenderry system though it is very unlightly. a good lad to contact for mor information is sean cane on Facebook. facebook.com/sean.cain317/

this bog was just outside of edenderry. all the ones in Longford are unfortunately closed now.

in the bog. you hardily expect the RPSI to haul peat wagons on there trains that are the wrong gauge

Also, i'm guessing the land to the right of the shot at 7:00 is for the proposed dart depot, not sure though of course

the drone is a DGI mini 3. if you are buying I recommend also buying the controller with the screen on it as pairing a phone to it can be very slow which when a mark 4 suddenly appears from noware is not somthing you want.

@@irish_trains I could not say for sure but looking at this image www.dartplus.ie/S3mvc/media/DART-West/Emerging%20Preferred%20Option/DW-EPO-Depot-Site-GC.png id say its probably the land on the right of the track beyond the housing estate at 2:35. i could be wrong though

@@fivefootthreetothreefoot Thank you for the drone suggestion, I may look into it

@@fivefootthreetothreefoot the lands around 53.393919, -6.655816 seem to be the start of the depot site according to the image, which does appear to be beyond that housing estate 👍👍

thanks. the drone works well but landing it is terrifying

thanks

thanks. it sure was a good day.

thanks very much

the feeder bus was on time. the station signage is clear. the train was on time. I personally can laugh as the railway is not at all in fault.

sure is a lovely sound

Couldn’t have said it better!!!!

sure is a lovely sound

it is people like you who take the time to tell their story that makes railways such an interesting hobby. indeed, it would be lovely to devote the Cavan and Leitrim to its original rolling stock and rebuild the line. indeed, Dromod is a beautiful town today. I can only imagine what it would have been like during WW2 trying to keep Ireland running on arigna coal. thanks very much for taking the time to share your story.

also that foggy shot of 081 at 1:17 is just perfect

merry Christmas.

that shot of 081 was at mallow on the liffey leesider. there where loads of foggy shots that morning down in cork but all where unusable as rain got evryware

merry christmas
